Bruce, you are kicking the can down the road.  Unless one knows the exact laws the cops use in Louisville, one does not know which one to change.
 
Please stop being political.
 
Be a citizen of the City of Louisville.
 
You know the laws and vague.
 
You and the Mayor know the laws need changing.
 
By not saying which laws you use, it comes across as not wanting to divulge private police info for changing the laws.
 
I will be bringing in all e-mails from you showing that you, yourself, use many laws for many circumstances.
 
That also leads folks to believe that if the cops have a vendetta against someone, the cops can interpret the laws to suit the circumstances.  Which is the case now.
 
I got it loud and clear.  It is all political.  You won't tell the truth.
 
Bev Beaufait.

Mrs. Beaufait:

The Police Department uses all the codes, ordinances, and laws applying them as warranted to each unique situation.  You need to do your own research and it is up to you to make recommendations of changes that you believe are appropriate or necessary.

Bruce,

 

I know that.  I want to know the EXACT law YOU and your police department uses.  The Mayor is setting this up for me.  I know you have the information.  I would dislike to have to take these e-mails from you showing that you will not state the EXACT laws the City of Louisville is using.

 

Thanks. 

 

Bev Beaufait.

Mrs. Beaufait:

Regarding municipal ordinances, I recommend you research the Louisville Municipal Code and the Model Traffic Code For Colorado, revised 2010.  Possible sources of these documents are the Internet, the Louisville Public Library, and the Louisville City Clerk’s Office at City Hall.

Thanks for your response.

 

I am enclosing a link to our City Code online.  I sent you a code from this link about "parking/abandoned/unmoved" vehicles.  It showed no length of time for this situation.  So, I guess it is up to the Code Enforcement Department to "decide".

 

If you would be so kind as to let me know through the online City Code link, EXACTLY which code you are using to enforce the laws, it would be helpful when I present this situation to City Council.  They need to know what laws the cops are using, too.

 

If the Code law you are using is not currently updated to our online City Code, would you please be so kind as to take a copy of the law you do use?

 

Could you please leave it at the front desk of the cop station for me to pick up to use to present as a fact to City Council?  I don't want to look like a fool, and I assume that the same for you, going before City Council with the wrong information.

 

I don't like words like, "do not make decisions based upon address, neighborhood, community standing, or any other capricious standard".  That does not state facts.  It is opinion.

 

I need true facts, through City Codes, as proofs of laws that need improvement.  :))))))))
